Our little angel is finally here. At 41 weeks and 2 days, we were sent to the hospital for our induction since the little one made no progress on her own. I guess she was a little comfy. On Sunday, May 6, 2012, we headed to the hospital so they could begin the 2 stage induction process. The first stage of the induction worked perfectly, and I began going into labor around 3 in the morning. Around 5:45, they started the pitocin which helped the labor move forward. By the 11:00 am check, I was already 5cm dilated and the doctor was surprised and pleased that we had come so far. And then the best news came around 4:00pm when we discovered that we were 9.5 cm dilated. Again, the doctor was shocked that we were so far. At 5:23, the pushing began, and at 6:16 p.m. on May 7, 2012, our little sweet baby girl entered the world.

Luckily (for me), she wasn’t quite as big as they projected her to be. At the 41 week ultrasound, they thought she was already 9 pounds (especially since her daddy was almost a 10-pounder). Our little Addison weighed in at 8 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 1/4 inches.

As soon as she came out, everyone began talking about how much she looked like daddy. What do you think? Secretly, this mommy is holding out hope that something about her will look like mommy.
